We began the new year
in an unusual way
blanketed with ice and snow
that was beautiful, disrupting
and treacherous.
So much new snow fell that
garbage collection was delayed
for a whole week.
Today, with the steady dripping of icicles
and the warm falling rain
we emerge.
The garbage trucks arrive and collect.
We begin to get
back to normal
and turn
to matters of the nation and world,
beautiful, disrupting
and
treacherous.
